He renewed his questions. But, like a capricious child, the peasant woman colored, played with her wooden shoe, twisted the rope of the cow, which was now feeding peaceably, and looked at the two hunters, examining every part of their clothing; then she yelped, growled, and clucked, but did not speak. "What is your name?" said Philippe, looking at her fixedly, as if he meant to mesmerize her.
She could not mesmerize me, but she could strip me of my fancy dress and set me naked in the masquerade. 'What came you forth to seek? she asked. 'You are not like the stout American Blenkiron, a lover of shoddy power and a devotee of a feeble science. There is something more than that in your face. You are on our side, but you are not of the Germans with their hankerings for a rococo Empire.

Not at once, but in a few days' time, when you have quite recovered.
